Local-Only Market

By: Peggy Pirro (Jul 21, 2010)
This market is less than a month old and every week since it opened there are more vendors and more variety. I like the fact that I can buy produce here knowing it's locally grown by the people who are selling it -- which is definitely NOT the case at the other E'ville downtown market.

When I go to a farmers market I want my experience to be a pleasure, and not full of suspicion about the origins of the produce. I want to be able to trust that the vendors are REAL producers with a stake in the local community, not people who bought produce at the wholesale market and are trying to pass it off as locally grown. This market may be small, but I can shop here with confidence. That's what makes it my Saturday go-to market, and I'm loving watching it grow.
